I got a reply from Tom Daschle - The Firearms Forum

05-08-2003, 02:27 PM

I was on the GOA website and sent Tommy boy one of them form letters about the pertaining frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the slimeball was kind enough to send me a reply of political doubletalk that says nothing firm.

Dear Jason:

Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 659/H.R. 1036, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. I appreciate hearing from you.

As you may know, this legislation is designed to strengthen protections against lawsuits that seek to recover damages from the industry for harm caused by criminal misuse of firearms. I share the goal of eliminating frivolous lawsuits, and support legislation to provide a reasonable level of legal protection to gun manufacturers and dealers. I also believe, however, that we must be very careful that, in doing so, we do not give legal immunity to businesses that knowingly put weapons in the hands of criminals, or that operate in clear violation of our nation's firearms laws.

As we work to protect legitimate businesses from unfair lawsuits, I want to be sure that we do not create a situation where gun dealers cannot be held accountable for failing to keep track of guns in their inventory that are later used in crimes, or where manufacturers are not legally liable for product defects that result in accidental deaths. As you may know, this legislation has been passed by the House of Representatives, and is currently awaiting action by the Senate Judiciary Committee. I look forward to working to foster a dialogue between representatives of all involved parties so that we can produce a bill that balances the legitimate desire to discourage frivolous lawsuits against responsible manufacturers and dealers, and the need to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and children.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely,

Tom Daschle
United States Senate

Yep, just like the politician in "Best Little Whore House in Texas". Doing the two-step.

Xracer · 05-08-2003, 03:45 PM

Wha...? Huh? What'd he say? Huh?

If you're not confused, you obviously don't understand the situation.

280freak · 05-08-2003, 04:04 PM

Jason -

Here's a thought - why don't you have yer little brudder, or somebody else that you know and trust, send yer esteemed Senator another letter, but this time with the opposite point of view of the one that you sent. Might be very interesting to see what the reply would be.

05-08-2003, 04:09 PM

Wouldn't matter what you sent Daschle, because either way he is going to vote for his own agenda.

cowdoc · 05-08-2003, 05:25 PM

warpig i for the life of me cant see why this state keeps electing that guy, i think it long past time that he not represent SD

Cointoss -

No doubt about that! Just thought that it would be fun to compare, side by side, the replies he sends out to constituents with opposite points of view.

Smokin Guns · 05-08-2003, 06:35 PM

Reckon!...I'm gunna have ta move out to SD and show ya'll how ta vote the sheet out'a yer senate!...

daschle...blows...(purposely didn't capitalize his last name)...

kaylan1 · 05-08-2003, 07:09 PM

I like 280's idea about the opposite view. when he reponds you can compare the 2, you know he's gonna be sittin on the fence, but which side does he have his boney butt shifted to. Then send both letters to the GOP or who ever his opponent is. Let'em us it for campaign propaganda.

*Boy do I need a spell checker on this'n*

05-09-2003, 01:44 PM

I agree with all of you.

I just sent my brother an email explaining the plan. Hopefully he will do it.

bigboom338 · 05-09-2003, 03:29 PM

Great News, I recently heard that John Thune is gonna run against tom daschle in the next election. I can only hope that this is true so that I can give my father-in-law a great big rasberry. And more importantly get that little worm out of office.

05-09-2003, 05:09 PM

I heard Thune is going to run also Mike.

What is up with your dad in law? He likes Daschle?

Smokin Guns · 05-09-2003, 05:51 PM

Doesn't want to do it...Hook me up with the LINK!...it would be way out of "Character"...but, I'll ask the "wannabe feller"...what's up!...

05-09-2003, 11:54 PM

I think Thune is a gonna smoke ole Tom boy...his washington two step is wearing pretty thin with the folks in south dakota.

Someone please explain to me how he can represent us in washington when he doesn't even own a resisdence in south dakota anymore???

I suppose he will open a PO box in sioux falls come time to file his re-election petition???

the wondering swede
